I have an original working disty pulled from a running '67 Cougar up in my attic... It's for a 289/302 and dated '67... I don't remember the month. I pulled it 30 years ago...back in the late 1980's. It's sitting in a box in my attic..

It shouldn't be THAT hard to find one. Ford built thousands of 390's in the mid 60's and I'd bet at least 75% of them were coupled to a C6. I'm assuming the U at the end is what identifies it as belonging to a C6 equipped vehicle.
Go to your local auto parts store and ask for a rebuilt/remanufactured distributor and you'll get some kind of Autolite/Motorcraft factory distributor. If you know the guys behind the counter they'll work with you to keep exchanging until you get the Autolite.
